client:codegen failing when run with npx/yarn

[lsanwick]

I'm seeing strange errors when attempting to run apollo client:codegen under yarn/npm instead of just running a globally installed version.

I've verified that the node version and apollo version are the same in both instances, see my shell log below:

It works successfully when I run it via a globally installed apollo (i.e. from yarn global add apollo)

$> apollo client:codegen __types__ --target=typescript
 ✔ Loading Apollo Project
 ✔ Generating query files with 'typescript' target - wrote 2 files

If I run the same command via npx, it fails.

Same thing when using yarn.

The versions appear identical in either mode, as far as I can tell.

A workaround for this problem in 2.3.0 is using either an absolute url or ../ for the includes flag (or the deprecated types, I guess?`

What worked in 2.1.8:

• ./src/**/*.graphql

What works in 2.3.0:

• ../src/**/*.graphql
• /<full_project_dir>/src/**/*.graphql

[trevor-scheer]

Hey @lsanwick, thanks for submitting this issue. Would you mind letting me know if this has been resolved for you in the latest version of apollo? If not, please let me know the command and output, as well as anything you might have in an apollo.config.js file.

[chrisdrackett]

@trevor-scheer I can confirm that I'm getting the same behavior after updating to Apollo 2.12.3. I have the following in my config:

module.exports = {
  client: {
    includes: ['./core/**/*.{js,ts,tsx}'],
    service: {
      name: 'server',
      localSchemaFile: './server/generated/schema.graphql',
    },
  },
}

and I'm getting a similar output:

so now based on #1305 I'm adding

  "resolutions": {
    "vscode-uri": "1.0.6"
  },

to make sure my copy of Apollo 2.8.3 works correctly. Has anyone found workarounds or fixes for this issue yet?

[JakeDawkins]

Hi 👋 Thanks for working on figuring this out.

Can anyone here provide a minimal reproduction repo (or confirm it's fixed) for this with steps to reproduce? I'm having trouble reproducing this issue in my test projects. I'll temporarily close this until it's reproducible!

[Slessi]

@JakeDawkins https://github.com/Slessi/apollo-tooling-881-repro here you go

EDIT: As mentioned in readme in above repro, using ../src instead of src/ fixes the problem, but if I use a plain JS file instead of a TS file, then the opposite is true (i.e. src/ works and ../src doesn't) so for me maybe the "issue" is TS related only, though it didn't used to be a problem

[JakeDawkins]

Thanks @Slessi! This is really strange. I'll try to look into it :)

Edit: and great reproduction 👏
